What made you say yes to Soundwave?We’re looking for any excuse to get to Australia, honestly [laughs]. We’re so excited to get back there and to be part of a great festival. I know Soundwave is kind of a newer festival, so we’re excited to hopefully build a legacy there like some other great bands. We’ll at least give people something special while we’re there.

What have you heard about Soundwave?In all honestly I don’t really know much about the history of the festival. I do know it’s a young festival but outside of that I really have no idea. I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t even really know my name. I’m working on the Ozzy Osbourne level of thinking.

Maybe there will be a “Chesterfest” one day and bands will just come to you.[Laughs] Exactly. That would be awesome.

Will we hear much from your new album Living Things at Soundwave?We’re working in ‘Burn It Down’, ‘Lost In The Echo’, ‘In My Remains’, ‘Victimized’, ‘Lies Greed Misery’ – they’ll all be part of our set going forward and touring. At that point, maybe ‘Powerless’ will be getting worked in there, so a lot of the new record is going to be incorporated into our new set, as well as a lot of the songs that people really want to hear. And also some songs that we’ve put on the backburner for a while, so hopefully a lot of a our fans that came to our last show will get something that they didn’t really get before.

How do you prepare for a festival audience?If it’s a Linkin Park show, people are there to see Linkin Park. But when we’re at a festival we’re not guaranteed that everybody’s going to be stoked that we’re headlining the show, or even on the bill. It’s completely different. There could be a large number of people there that are going to be experiencing our band for the first time and may not even know any of our stuff, so it’s always really exciting to be able have a chance to go out and get some new fans and really perform our music for people who haven’t been familiar with the band.
